The NFL is making changes to help the flow of the game and reduce unnecessary stoppage.



Goodell annouced today that the "TD-commercial-kickoff-commercial" plan is dead. There will now be a structured advertising plan for NFL broadcast partners.

Four scheduled breaks, lasting no longer than 2 minutes, per quarter (most likely between possessions) and they are allowed to break during timeouts, injuries, and reviews with a split screen view of the stadium broadcast.

It's about ****ing time!

Four is still a lot, but the TD-commercial-KO-commercial thing was beyond annoying.

The No Fun League is also apparently developing a celebration video explaining how players can celebrate.  Man I miss the days when guys like Smitty, TO, Chad Johnson, etc. were celebrating.  Coming up with something new every weekend.  People waited in anticipation of "whats he going to do next".

Heard Goodell on Mike and Mike this morning talking about this. I applaud the NFL for realizing this was issue and it's not easy to make a change like this since less commercials = less dollars. Will be a better product for viewers at home and at the stadium. 

Hard to find a balance between your customers (fans) and keeping your sponsors happy especially when you are doing away with the in game promos also (Joe Buck saying..."Tune in to Fox next Monday to watch the new episode of _____ ").

The commercials become more noticeable if you ever tried to watch a recorded game. You spend more time skipping past the commercials than actually watching game footage.

The Wall Street Journal did analysis on this a few years back. It was something like:

10-11 mins of game action

17 mins of repay (more than game action)

75 mins of coaches, players, walking around, huddling, etc.

1 hour of commercials (20 breaks, 100 ads)

It's remarkable the NFL is so popular if you look at nothing other than that list.

I record every game and give it a 20-30 minute head start. I usually catch up by halftime, but have to pause more often during the second half as my piss breaks become more frequent.

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      This is a toughie because I wonder what a guy like Canales thinks about redemption stories for addiction issues. Also, I think this is a case of 1 player getting caught, and not being naive enough to think this isn't more common in college than we think. I'd toss a 3rd rounder out there. 2026 is essentially a redshirt season regardless, so he's not taking over for any NFL QB next year. Best case, he's ready to go in 2027 if we pass on Bryce's extension. Worst case, he's our future backup QB2. Kid has the tools to be an NFL QB. I do think we could somehow land a '26 3rd round pick back in a trade. Our past years' third rounders are: Brazzell Princely Wallace DJ Johnson Matt Corral All this to say, I could see a team like the Jets going w/ a 2nd. They have three FRPs next year.

      I think we've seen improvement in Bryce's performance. It still isn't up to world beater status, but in Canales defense, he can say that the limitations of the player were hit. I think he survives that even if Bryce doesn't. Still, I think it's a 50/50 shot for Bryce to make it. QB is one of the toughest jobs to do in the sports world, if not the most, so the failure rate is really high, no matter the pedigree. Heck, Archie Manning gets a lot of credit as a great QB but anyone who saw his career in motion knows he wasn't really that good and he was surrounded by bottom of the bowl players. He did get it figured out with his sons, though. That grandson... maybe.
